For some time now, I've been working on new, open innovation models for transforming our civic economy. We've got some complex transformations ahead, but we can develop remarkable collaborations by following some simple rules.

Here are some places where you can find my work. This blog outlines some early thinking on the application of open innovation and Strategic Doing to the challenge of transforming our civic economy.

Purdue Center for Regional Development

The Purdue Center for Regional Development has become the hot spot for this work. Learn more.

Purdue keeps track of trends in economic development on the EDPro Weblog. You can also browse through the PCRD blog. You can also connect with PCRD on our Facebook page.
